The Special Adviser to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Policy
Communication, Daniel Bwala, has criticised supporters of Peter Obi, saying
they view national issues from a negative perspective.
Bwala made the remarks in a post shared on his official X
handle on Thursday, while reacting to a cartoon of him holding a glass of water
and explaining the importance of context during a recent interview with Mendi
Hasan.
He said understanding context is important when discussing
politics and governance, stressing that people often interpret situations
differently.
“I love this picture. Whoever did it, tried. Intellectuals
know context matters when discussing issues of politics and governance. It is
either you are looking at life as half full or half empty,”he wrote.
According to him, progressives believe challenges are part
of the process of development.
“Progressives believe context matters, because you will be
confronted with problems; no progress without process,” he said.
Bwala then took a swipe at Obi’s supporters, describing
their outlook as negative.
“It is only Peter Obi and his Trojans that see everything as
half empty; that is why they are disillusioned, disgruntled and confused,” he
said.
He added that having a positive outlook reflects hope, while
a negative one reflects pessimism.
“May your journey in life be half full rather than half
empty; because half full depicts hope, while half empty depicts Obidients,” he
added.
